Jennifer Lopez Sets Concert Record in Istanbul

Jennifer Lopez performed to a sold-out audience at Istanbul's Festival Park Yenikapı on August 5, 2025, as part of her 'Up All Night: Live in 2025' world tour. The concert featured a record-breaking stage inspired by Istanbul's seven hills, constructed over six months with 70 truckloads of equipment and a 187-person crew. Turkish DJs Faruk Sabancı and EREN AB opened the event, energizing fans who arrived hours early for the show. Lopez interacted with the crowd, took selfies, and performed a 35-song setlist that included hits like 'On the Floor,' 'Ain’t Your Mama,' and 'Waiting for Tonight.' Her appearance marked a significant moment in her career transition to independence after parting ways with BMG. The Istanbul Festival, running through August 17, reinforced the city's status as a global music destination and set a new standard for international concerts in Türkiye.
